NARS X STEVEN KLEIN FANTASCENE LIMITED EDITION HOLIDAY COLLECTION 2015 REVIEW

Hi Beauties❤️
Its my favourite season of the year whooop!, partly because I get so excited to play with new holiday makeup products that get released by our favourite makeup brands. Most often brands brings out and release  beautifully designed, limited edition collections, collectors items, all things festive and colorful for the festive season.
And so far, a brand that hasn't disappointed with that is NARS, who are anything but boring and traditional with their holiday collections.
This year NARS has collaborated with iconic fashion photographer Steven Klein who features his incredible photography on the packaging to bring out  Nars x Steven Klein Fantascene Holiday 2015 Limited Edition Collection.
François Nars and Steven Klein come together with design legend Fabien Baron to create an exquisite fantasy played to extremes.
“Steven is an iconic fashion photographer. His work defies the rules of photography—it’s arresting and provocative. It pushes boundaries and elicits a reaction. I like that. He perfectly embodies the spirit of NARS.” —François Nars, Founder & Creative Director
“I’ve always had the highest regard for François’ work. He is the pioneer of moving from one of the greatest makeup artists to creating great makeup. It is super exciting for me to collaborate using my photographs and joining them with his cosmetic genius.” —Steven Klein, Photographer

The collection has dramatic colours for Eyes, Lips, Cheeks, and Nails, and also includes eight gift sets which are perfect for a beauty lover this festive season. This collection definitely has something for everyone. I have a few pieces of this collection to share with you beauties...

Dead Of Summer Dual Intensity Eyeshadow Palette, £29.00

NARS X STEVEN KLEIN HOLIDAY COLLECTION 2015

"Off the deep end. Four wet/dry Dual-Intensity Eyeshadows steeped in pigment and shine plumb the depths of desire. Instant submersion. Total subversion."

Set Includes:
Studly- Gold Dual Intensity Eyeshadow
Stag Film- Taupe Dual Intensity Eyeshadow
Subra - Burgundy Dual Intensity Eyeshadow
Blackmail- Black Dual Intensity Eyeshadow  
Via Veneto- Black Mini Larger Than Life Eyeliner

Soft Pale Gold, Silver Lavender, Black Orchard, Deep Matte Graphite, Black

I think this is a great fall palette and i love it. The shades are super pigmented, can be used wet for high impact finish or dry for a sheer finish, and very buildable dry as well, so it takes two to three layers. Has a soft, finely-milled feel to it, which makes the shadows very smooth and easily blended on the skin. It wears well anywhere from six to nine hours, depending on dry application or damp application.
The palette is very affordable considering it contains £45.60 worth of eyeshadows, 0.30oz each shade and £8.20 worth of eyeliner, making the palette worth £53.80.

NARS X STEVEN KLEIN HOLIDAY COLLECTION 2015

SWATCHES-
NARS X STEVEN KLEIN HOLIDAY COLLECTION 2015

These mini lipsticks are the cutest things ever!!!. The shades in this set are not new, a couple were previously limited edition shades. The lipsticks are super soft and comfortable to wear, quite moisturizing, doesn't dry out the lips over time, and has no fragrance smell to it. These lipsticks are not the NARS Audacious formula (post coming soon...).
Some of the shades particularly the nude (Little Darling) are quite tough to pull off on me but majorly most of the shades would suit all skin tones. I love that the shades in the set are versatile and I’ll most definitely be wearing a ton during the holidays. Also these are great value set for what you get.
